Simon
I agree with you that we should send a few delegates and the idea to contribute $40 is a good one. My questions are:
Who do you send?
What message doe you send with them?
Sketchucation is a commercial enterprise so the directors go using Forum funds - which guests do you send - TIG, Thom Thom, FRedo....

We need heavy hitters to go, people who have contributed exceptional content to our community. If this is going to happen let me know where to send my contribution.

Real pity - 1 lapse of concentration and Bafana Bafana are out. They should be proud though - they got 4 points. Would have loved to seen them in the last sixteen.

Thanks l-breault. Much appreciated.

France are imploding - players refused to train today because of the way Nicolas Anleka was treated and sent home. The saying - "what goes around comes around" springs to mind! It is such a shame that football is being sidelined for the egos of both managers and players. All the French supporters must be wondering what the hell is going on - I would hate to have saved for years to go to SA and then this pile of "merde" lands on you!!

Thats is impressive - love the walnut material you used on the furniture - is it a Twilight material or can you point me in the right direction?

Superb renders - especially like the one with sunlight. Reminds me of a place in Fitou (near Perpignan) that we stayed in once for a few days - same paint job on the walls too!!

Hear Hear!!

Solo

The whole of Ireland will be hoping that SA beat the French!!!

There is a TV show in the UK at the minute and they have a wall panel with actual people representing the participating teams sitting in it. On the first night they removed the French team and put Ireland in their place as they feel that the French cheated the Irish out of it with the Thierry Henri hand ball saga. It is very funny to see as it gets the biggest cheer of the show when they mention the Irish!

I hope you stay in as it is important to maintain local support at matches. Superbly organised competition so far. South Africans should be very proud as there were alot of doubts as to whether they could pull it off!

Well thats one English spill that the USA wont be complaining about tonight!!!

Very clear image. Unsure as to the texture above the dado rail in the last image - it looks like an external dashed wall finish - not one you would expect to find indoors. Apart from that it is excellent. Well done.

Great link Jo-Ke, Thankyou very much.

I have had some experience of dealing with Italian manufacturing companies in the past - fantastic quality and design but the customer service side always let them down - they did things to suit the factory not the customer alot of the time - which left a very bad feeling with the customer. Volume of orders was a problem too but I will certainly contact them and see if they would be willing to do business.

I just said to the wife " Right sexy, upstairs now!" She looked at me and said "Oooh, kinky bastd". I said. "No seriously, The World Cup is starting soon, now FK OFF!"

You'll have to wear alot of hats as I think all of those nations are at the world cup - with either Germany or Holland the more likely to progress to the later stages! Best excuse for being on the booze for 6 weeks I have ever heard!!

Joke - I just said to the wife " Right sexy, upstairs now!" She looked at me and said "Oooh, kinky bastd". I said. "No seriously, The World Cup is starting soon, now FK OFF!"

Men , eh!

I can't see the toilet base!!!

South Africa? England? or USA? Give us a clue as to where home is!!!

Good luck with the build - looks like a super house. Dont get too stressed during it - enjoy it!

" Here is a bedroom that I modelled with sketchup
The furniture is from 3ds
My render engine is Twilight Render
Preset 09
rendered in 2 hrs 16 mins"

I think that is the translation - and I didnt even use Google language tools!!!

Looks good Ramy - slightly grainy but gives a vewry good idea of what the room looks like. Field of View might be slightly large aswell. Well Done

Excellent render - love the material choices and the overall composition of the image. Well Done

Thanks TIG for a very useful tip - i again did not know that you could mix and match imperial and metric in the same model - will help alot when modelling furniture plans from the US.

This forum is brilliant - and answers come really quickly from amazing members - I'm so glad to be a part of it!
